Louis Auchincloss
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Louis Stanton Auchincloss (September 27, 1917 - January 26, 2010) - pronounced AWK-in-claus - was an American lawyer, novelist, historian, and essayist. He is best known as a prolific novelist who parlayed his firsthand knowledge into dozens of finely wrought books exploring the private lives of America's East Coast patrician class (especially the world of Wall Street bankers, lawyers and stockbrokers). His dry, ironic fiction continued the tradition of Henry James and Edith Wharton.

An Unladylike Profession
American Women War Correspondents in World War I"This slice of World War I history offers insights into American journalism as well as into the terrible conflict itself. . . . [Dubbs] writes with a sure hand, drawing from published articles, memoirs, diaries and letters. He skillfully presents each woman’s story in a linked series of riveting—sometimes heartbreaking—narratives. . . . Near the end of An Unladylike Profession, Mr. Dubbs remarks on the reporter’s duty to report the truth no matter how uncomfortable it might be. The journalists profiled in this absorbing book lived up to that responsibility."—Melanie Kirkpatrick, Wall Street Journal "Readers will be inspired by the nearly unimaginable obstacles these journalists overcame to perform their jobs with flair. A welcome history suitable for World War I aficionados and budding journalists."—Kirkus Reviews, starred "Dubbs . . . delivers a rousing narrative of adventurous women, passionate about their careers, who broke free from oppressive gender norms to accomplish their goals. Hand this book to World War I aficionados and casual history buffs."—Michelle Ross, Booklist "This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the Great War's impact on the role of female war reporters, the obstacles they faced, and the hurdles they overcame. It serves as a reminder that audiences depend on ingenious, courageous, and, most importantly, truth-seeking war correspondents who provide eyewitness accounts of conflicts and crises."—Elisabeth Fondren, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly "An Unladylike Profession contributes to a growing trend in the field of journalism history, as well as in the broader public discourse, to include the lived experiences and the work of women on an equal footing with that of their male peers."—Natascha Toft Roelsgaard, American Journalism "Chris Dubbs’s An Unladylike Profession jumps into the trenches with the women reporters of World War I—groundbreaking journalists who explained the war to readers in the US, and who shared stories from the war’s brutal aftermath."—Foreword Reviews "An Unladylike Profession is much more than a collection of stories about some very intrepid, determined women. It offers a glimpse into the many depths and dimensions of the first global conflict in human history. . . . This reviewer recommends the book for anyone interested in women's history, the history of journalism, and a unique approach to the history of World War I."—Ann Todd, Journal of America's Military Past "By bringing together so many of these women in a single volume, An Unladylike Profession frames them not as isolated individuals or well-meaning amateurs, but as a small but vocal cohort of dedicated professionals who challenged society's expectations for what any reporter—male or female—could accomplish."—Shannon Granville, Army History "An Unladylike Profession is an excellent read not only for those interested in women as war correspondents, but because of how those journalists brought unique perspectives to the reporting of the war."—Strategy Page “Dubbs tells his story with an unerring eye for unforgettable anecdotes and dramatic situations, nicely balanced by careful attention to historical background. He is a master at distilling complex historical information into readable and intelligent works for an audience of academics and non-academics alike.”—Steven Trout, author of On the Battlefield of Memory: The First World War and American Remembrance, 1919–1941
